A
Most young boys don't like growing flowers and watering them. But for 16-year-old Angus, working in the garden isn't just a hobby — it has changed his life.
Angus has a special illness and his IQ is lower than a normal boy. Six months ago, he started learning how to grow flowers. Now, he spends hours in the garden growing flowers, watering and looking after them. “Before working in the garden, it was difficult for Angus to concentrate in class and sometimes he didn't want to go to school,” said his mother Kim. “Now he can't wait to go to school and he is happy every day. We can see Angus is able to work in a garden center in the future,”
Research shows that working in the garden improves mental and physics health. In the past, soldiers in Egypt treated their mental problems after war by working in the garden. Even now, some doctors advise people to work in the garden to treat their mental health problems. And doctors also advise young people like Angus to work in the garden.
The lives of hundreds of children in Britain with special needs, like Angus, have been changed by this special kind of education. When working in the garden, children have a chance to learn a lot of important skills, such as how to work with other people and how to take care of plants. Besides, the children become more confident after working in the garden.

【题目】 A girl named Carly Butler travelled 3,755 miles from Canada to London. She wanted to retrace (重温) her grandmother’s daily life during World War II by the descriptions in old love letters.

Carly found 104 letters and telegrams between her grandmother in England and grandfather in Canada. Every week she would open seven new letters, and then she would do as described in the letters in the next week.

Her grandmother and her grandfather met at a dancing party in London in May 1943 and they stayed together just for three days, and then her grandfather married her grandmother.

Now, 67 years later, Carly left her own husband in Canada, opened her grandmother’s letters and tried to follow the letters to retrace all the things in those letters.

So far, she has visited her grandmother’s birthplace in West Hampstead. She spent a day visiting Oxford and watching a film at the Marble Arch Cinema. Carly also plans to see her grandmother’s working place. Her grandmother passed away in 1998.

Carly even hopes to come back to Canada on the Queen Mary II, because her grandmother did all those years ago.

Rhoda Breakell, head of the Genes Reunited, said, “Her trip is inspiring, unusual and it is clear that she is really enjoying retracing her grandmother’s footsteps.”

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 项中,选出最佳选项。
C
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a.m. When I arrived to collect, I saw a small woman in her eighties standing before me. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long time." I quietly shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived. Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now."
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
"How much shall I give you?" she asked.
"Nothing," I said.
"You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly and said, "You gave an old woman a little moment of happiness."
